FOR WOMEN FOLK.
FOR WOMEN FOLK. Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS. INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. Patience has a. hea.rt of stone. Love is youth's elixir, bat it doesn't care rheumatism. Henpeck thinks the Mormons are already sufficiently punished. Apply either muriatic or glacial acetic acid to warts. They will soon shrivel and drop off. Moles are harder to remove, but often lanar caustic, slightly moistened, will effect the required results. I Plieed lemon is an indispensable adjunct of the toilet table. It will, if used with reason, keep the skin white. If rubbed across the finder nails, it is almost as effective as mani- cure scissors in keeping down hangnail. To make the throat and neck plump, firm, and round, wash it well with cold water and rub with a coarse towel until the skin glows. A course of treatment highly recommended is the use of codrliver oil. rubbed into the akin well. Cocoa. butter, however, is much cleaner, and more pleasant. Everyone can take a tepid bath without in- jurious effects: not everyone can take a cold sponge hath or a hot bath with impunity. The safe rule to follow is to begin the daily bath with tepid water. Castile or olive oil soap, a. rough wash clcth, and plenty of fric- tion. After the bath rub and rub. and still :ub. with a Turkish towel of generous size. antil the skin is thoroughly dry, red, and tingling. It acts as a splendid tonic. Shrimps With Rice. Place two cupfuls of picked shrimps in a •aacepan with half an ounce of butter, and a little minced onion, thyme, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, and cook. stir- ring all the time, until the mixture is brown. Add a little milk. boil up. and serve with a border of nicely boiled rice. Wakefield Pudding. Ingredients: Half pound stale bread, cut very thin, one pound apples, quarter pound sugar. Stew the fruit with the sugar till it is cooked. Put a layer of bread in a piedish; then a layer of fruit and juice; then bread. -ill all is in. Serve hot or cold. Custard sauce may be poured over it if liked. Cabbage a la Creme. Ingredients: One cabbage or any greens. one onion, one clove, half a tablespoonful of butter, twopennyworth of cream, seasoning. croutons of fried bread. Well wash the cab- bage or greens. Put it into fast-boiling salted water. Add the onion, peeled, with the clove stuck in it. Boil quickly till tender. Then remove the onion, and drain the cabbage well. Rub it through a wire sieve, or, if you have not that most useful article (cost of which is from fivepence upwards), mash it well with a. fork. Melt the butter in the saucepan. Put in the cabbage and stir well. Next add the cream gradually; mix and season carefully. Serre very hot piled in a hot dish. and garnish with neatly cut sippets of bread that have been fried a golden brown. The Servant Problem One sign of the deplorable state of the domestic service market is the fact that. whereas ten and twenty years ago the servant in search of a place advertised her want, wrote letters of application to mistresses, and undertook herself the journeying'necessary to bring about an interview, these approaches are now reversed. It is the mistress who advertises, it is the mistress who writes letters, it is the mistress who takes cabs. 4nd not the least trying part of this quest if the golden girl" is the physical strain entailed on ladies who frequently have to call on four or five girls in a day in the hope of obtaining the help they need. Many ladies are completely exhausted by this enforced tea-and-bathbtm tour through the suburbs.— From "The Quest of the Golden Girl" in T. P.'s Weekly." Striped Velvet. A good deal of striped and spotted velvet is used for afternoon reception gowns. In Paris there is a perfect rage for white crepe lie chine worn with sable, even in the day- time, but naturally only for very smart indoor festivities. Plain velvet frocks are perfectly eharming, and very exclusive folks are wear- ing emerald-green velvet with long stoles of marten and big picture hats of green beaver. Green in such fabrics cannot get very com- mon. though I fear this charming colour ia slightly on the wane. The coming colour is a dull claret red, almost a mulberry shade, which is very chic. and has already found its way into the world of millinery. I have seen hats m this shade of beaver trimmed with jhiffon and roses of many hues. or autumnal berries. After all, the best milliners keep one colour throughout a hat, using several tones. We no longer put bits of colour in startling contrast on our hats. There is a good deal of chenille being worn on millinery, mixed in all sorts of ways, some of it form- ing network decorations for the brims of nats and toques. —"Modes of the Moment," in ""Madame."
Passing Pleasantries.
Passing Pleasantries. An old lady being late at church entered as the congregation was rising to sing. "La:" said she, curtseying, "don't get up on my account. At seven o'clock in the morning two French duellists, who were to fight to the death at a place in the suburbs, met at the ticket office of the railway station. "Give me a return ticket, as usual," said the first duellist to the clerk, in a terrible tone, and with a ferocious twist of his mous- tache. "I—I say. do you always buy return tickets?" stammered his opponent. "Yes, always." ■"Then I apologise." 3aid the other. INCONSIDERATE PARENT. A man who was sentenced to be hanged was •▼isited by his wife. who said: "My dear. would yon. like the childrsn to see you executed?" "So," replied he. "That's jnst, like ynn," said she. "for you never wanted the children to have any enjoy- ment." CAUGHT NAPPING. "Your worship." said the wily solicitor, who :wa!ll defending the stalwart prisoner in the dock, "you cannot poesibly fonviot, my client of housebreaking. [ submit, sir, with all reverence, that neither moraJly nor legally ■can yon couvict him. I will tell you why. Mr. Sikea here, as the evidence clearly proves, did not break into any house at all. He found the parlour window open, as the witnesses Admit, and all he did was to put in his right arm and remove some unimportant articles. Now, sir, Mr. Sikes's arm is not he himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for a fault committed by onl/one of his limbs." "Very well. sir," said the cautious Solon of the bench, "I have heard of a similar defence before to-day, so I find the prisoner's arm guilty, and sentence it to six months' im- prisonment. The gentleman himself can accompany it oe not, as he chooses. Mr. Clerk, record the sentence." Then Mr. Sikes •miled a fourteen-inch smile, and the plan of the defence became apparent as he quietly proceeded to unscrew his guilty cork arm. leave it ia the fluaiody afi tb*. court."

HAD TO GIVETUP A SITUATION
HAD TO GIVETUP A SITUATION Many workers haro to do this tbrcl1!h ill- health. Mr. W. G. Robinør¡n, of 47. Chapel- irtreet, Ormskirk, Lanes., had to give up his work. He was a, foreman cooper in a chemical works in St. Helens, and there ill no doubt much of his ill-health wall due to the pnie.onoU8 fumefl iu which he worked. :\fl'. Robinson was taken ill all at onc-c, sitting aie his fireside, and kAt tn-c, thirty pounds ill weight in six months, finally giving up his work. He suffered from the kidneys, had pains round the heart, gravel, piles. and choking sensations in the t 11roa.t. A doctor's examination of the water showed the presence of uric acid and 2.lbumin, which plainly pointed to Brigh t's Disease. III all. 'Mr. Robinson saw twenty doctors, but they did not help him. nor (lid many advertised remedies. Meanwhile Mr. Robin- son suffered from sdatica and acute pains and derangement of tL1e urinary system. Finally he began, almost hopeless, to tak? Dodd's Kidney Pills and a marked improve- ment set in. The disheartening symptoms began to disapPc:1r day hy day, and th? sufferer, by persistent USC, has steadily grown well. Mr. Rohinson is enthusiastic about th-: merit of Dodd's Kidney Pills, as are thou sands wh08e cases ha,c been as hoptless a^ niR wa,¡; Dodd's Kidney Pills are 2s. 9d. per box, of all Chemists, or post free on receipt of price from The Dodds Medicine Company. 23, Farringdon- avenue, London.

SOMALI LAND FIGHT.
SOMALI LAND FIGHT. Main Column 'Suffer Great Hardships. OFFICERS AND MEN SUBSIST ON CAMEL'S FLESH. Dispatches from Berbera state that Obbia, a port on the Indian Ocean in the Italian protectorate, has been selected as the base ot the main column of the expedition against the Somali Mullah. The disbandment of the Somali levies is proceeding. The sick convoy from Bohotle has arrived at Berbera.—Renter. During Colonel Swayne's recent marches great hardships were endured by the officers, re-calling, indeed, those of the sieges of Lady- smith and Mafeking. Officers and men alike subsisted on a diet of camel's flesh, varied with edible grasses. Scurvy was not uncom- mon, and parasites infected the campe. A corps of mounted infantry to serve with the field force has been formed. It consists 'of 150 Punjab Mounted Infantry and 150 Somalia picked from the disbanded levies. The Sultan of Obbia has promised the assistance of 300 mounted scouts. Large forces will be main- tained in garrison at Bohotle and Garrero. Rumours of Italian co-operation and of the despatch of an Indian brigade to Somaliland are current in Berbera. It is known that the 1st Battalion King's African Rifles are to move to Obbia, where everything is in readiness for their reception.—Press Association Foreign Special.
MUNICIPAL TELEPHONES.j
MUNICIPAL TELEPHONES. Causes of the Failure at Tunbridge Wells. Mr. A. R. Bennett, the consulting telephone engineer to the Corporation of Tunbridge Wells and to the Corporation of Swansea, has addressed a letter to the Postmaster- General on the subject of the pro- posed transfer of the Tunbridge Wells Corporation telephone undertaking to the National Telephone Company. In the course of his letter he' enters a strong protest against the manner in which his name was made use of by the deputation of the Town Council of Tunbridge Wells which waited upon Mr. Chamberlain in connection with the proposed sale of the corporation tele- phone undertaking to the National Telephone Company. He denies most emphatically that the prices estimated were inadequate, for they were in all cases calculated to afford a liberal margin, and the causes of the loan proving inadequate must be sought in the policy of expansion which was at first adopted by the telephone committee, a policy which, no doubt, would be amply justified by results were it given time to mature. The undertaking so far had not shown any loes, and the loss which was expected to occur next year was extremely small, and would not take place at all if reasonable prudence were exercised in the management, which had not hitherto been the case. Notwith- standing the increase in the capital cost," he concludes, the telephone department of the corporation is in a solvent condition, and with careful management would certainly pay its way without any increase on the present tariff. The Post Office telephone undertaking in London is only in its first year of working. Large sums have been expended in anticipar tion of future wants, a circumstance which makes its case parallel with that of the Tun- bridge Wells and Glasgow Corporation under- takings. If. sir. the Post Office Telephone Exchange were burdened in this its first year of existence with full interest and sinking fund. in the way in which the Tunbridge Wells enterprise has been burdened, an enor- mous loss would have to be confessed to, although no reasonable doubt could exist as to the ultimate snecees of the enterprise if persisted in. Yet we do not hear of any public clamour to have the Post Office system sold to the National Telephone Company; but if there is any sense or justice in the view taken by the Tunbridge Wells Town Council public meetings ought to be held all over the country to insist on the immediate transfer of the Post Office undertaking at a ruinous sacrifice. I would strongly suggest that before consenting to any transfer you order an investigation as to how the Tunbridge Wells loan has been expended."

TURKISH ATROCITIES.
TURKISH ATROCITIES. Macedonian Priest Tortured to Death. A Salonika telegram says that the revolu- tionary bands have at last succeeded in pro- voking an outbreak of Turkish ferocity on a very considerable scale. In the Djumaibala district alone eighteen villages have been plundered and partly burned, and none of the customary details are wanting. The Machonkovo affair, in which a Rulgarian band murdered three women and" two men, has now had its sequel. On the 18th ult. the priest in whose house the band had met and delibe- rated was tortured to death by Turkish officials, under the supervision of the examin- ing magistrate, his hair and beard being plucked out and his body seared with red-hot irons. The vali of Salonika, acting on instruc- tions from Constantinople, has refused the inquiry demanded by the archimandrite. An encounter is reported to have taken place at Podesta, near Castoria. on the 22nd ult. The Turks are said to have loet 25 killed and wounded, and the Bulgarians six- teen killed, wounded, and prisoners.—Renter. A Constantinople message avers that Russia. and Turkey are taking up the Mace- donian question in earnest.
THE WAR COMMISSION.
THE WAR COMMISSION. Lord Roberts Gives Important Evidence. The War Commission met again on Thurs- day at St. Stephen's House, Westminster, and devoted the whole session to examining Lord Roberts, the Commander-in-Chief, whose evi- dence was not completed when the Commis- sion adjourned for the day. Lord Roberts's evidence related to the disposition of troops in Natal at the outbreak of the war, and questions as to the selection and holding of La<i.ysmith. He also gave evidence as to the question of efficiency or supply of officers and men under the existing system. lhequalitiee of men as shown in the war with regard to shooting, marching, entrenching, and taking cover, and their general capabilities of intel- ligence. judgment, and observation. He also expressed his views as to the qualities of the regimental and staff officers. The result of their training was shown in the war, and some of the results of the existing Army organisation. Lord Roberts also referred to the organisation of the Transport, Depart- ment. and the working of the railways in South Africa. He gave evidence as to the value of different classes of guns, and aa t" Tbe proposed mOQificatioDs in artillery tactics in consequence of the experience of the war. Ht, also stated the deficiency of ma.ps of South Africa at the beginning of the war, and the steps which had been taken to meet this difficulty.

REMOUNT SCANDAL. Awkward Position Case Breaks Down. At Munster Assizes on Thursday the grand I jury. alter considering the case against Major Studdart and others in connexion with the purchase of remounts, threw' out the bills. The Foreman said that, as the Crown declined to produce before them Colonel St.. Qnintin, they did not feel in a position to do anything but ignore the bills. The Jr.dga said the explanation was not necessary. The decision appeared to be received with favour in the crowded court. Prior to the decision being arrived at the grajid jury asked for the colonel to be pro- duced. but the Crown lawyer said he could not do this, as he had no instructions.

EXPEDITION TO KANO
EXPEDITION TO KANO ■ Two Powerful Emirs to I be Subdued. 1 FORMIDABLE TASK FOR THE NIGERIAN TROOPS. We understand that operations by the mili- tary forces of British Nigeria against the Mahommedan centre of Kano have been decided upon, and will commence shortly. It is not certain whether General Sir Frederick Lugard, the governor, will personally accom- pany the expedition, but, in all probability, Mr. William Wallace, C.M.G., the Deputy-High- Commigsioner, who is now on his way out from England, will go with the troops. The base of operations will be at Zaria—about a hundred miles south-west of Kano-where there is a strong garrison. It is estimated that between 400 and 600 troops of the West African Frontier Force will be employed. The Emir of Kano has large forces of horsemen at hi3 command, and severe fighting is possible. Whether the move to Kano will also necessitate the despatch of d force to Sokoto, some 200 miles to the north-west, is not stated, but it is at least possible that advantage will be taken of the presence of this forcp in the vicinity to deal with this great religious centre. In the case of Sokoto it is regarded as unlikely that there will be much fighting, especially if in the meantime the great fighting city of Kano has been defeated. The operations are expected to extend over several weeks. The Emir of Kano has been making extensive preparations for hostilities against the Bri- tish since the occupation of the town of Zaria, which was more or less under 111e influence of Kano. The Emir of Kano, like the Emir of Sokoto, had refused to enter into relations with the British, and it will be remembered that when Bishop Ingwell and his companions pene- trated to Kano, some year or two ago, they were compelled to leave the place. The city is very strongly defended, and is surrounded by an ancien-t wall at least 40ft. high, stronger, it is said. than the walls of Sokoto itself. It has always been foreseen that as British effective occupation of the country advanced northward to the AnglorFrench boundary the powerful Emirs of Sokoto, Kano, and Gando would have to be dea.lt with. As he is undei the influence of Sokoto, the Emir of Gando's profession of friendship with us is particu- larly gratifying, and may lead to the Emir of Sokoto assuming a friendly attitude. Fuller details regarding the murder of Cap- tain Moloney, British Resident at Keffi, show that the crime was not due* to any general hoetility on the part of the natives of that place, but was a personal act of Magazee, a powerful local chief, the King himself being in no way responsible. The body of the mur- dered man was severely hacked about by his assailant, and was found lying in the market- place by Mr. Webster, Assistant-Resident, who arrived on the scene a few minutes after the occurrence. Colonel Beddoes, with a force, was despatched from Lokoja to Keffi to inquire into the affair, but, on arrival he found that the murderer and his immediate followers had fled to Kano, whence news has since been received of their arrival.—Press Association Foreign Special.

PONTYPRIDD SCHOOL BOARD.
PONTYPRIDD SCHOOL BOARD. At the monthly meeting of the Pontypridd School Board, held on Wednesday, Mr. Philip Jones, M.E., presiding, a report was submitted by the sub-committee appointed to consider and inquire into the practicability of teaching Welsh in the place of French at the Pupil Teachers' Centre. Out of the whole of the centre 58 preferred Welsh and 108 French, so that the committee recommended that before finally determining the matter the pupil teachers be examined in Welsh, and the results be given to the board. The report was adopted.

TOLD OF A WINOFALL IN THE…
TOLD OF A WINOFALL IN THE POLICE- COURT. A remarkable sequel to a charge of begging occurred on Thursday at Marylebone Police- court, London. Last Saturday a man named William Claxton (40). a butler, was charged before Mr. Bennett with begging from house to house at Hampstead. He informed the magistrates that he was in great poverty and called at different houses to see if he could obtain employment. He had been eighteen years, he said, with one gentleman as butler, and had an excellent character. Mr. Bennett remanded him for a week, but in view of what transpired subsequently ordered Claxton to be brought up again on Thursday. When the prisoner entered the dock Mr. Bennett told him-that while travelling on the railway the other day he came across an announcement relating to the will of Claxton's late master, Mr George Wightwick Rendel. a director of the Elswick Works and ex-Oivil Lord of the Admiralty, who died last October, leaving, amongst other bequests, JE300 to his butler, Williajn Claxton. Claxton became greatly agitated, and when the court missionary pointed out to him the all-important item in the newspaper extract his face beamed with joy. The magistrate dismissed him with some good advice.

A lady was taken ill with nervous iir;:?t r;i- tion and heart trouble about a year ago, and for weeks it seemed that she could not live. She fays, "The medicine I took for my nerves and hearC, injured my stomach, and I grew steadily worse, until I could retain nothing. For weeks I was kept alive on one tea-spoonful of beef tea and one of lime water every hoar, and after a. while I could not even continue thai. I grew weaker and weaker, and finally was compelled to use sweet oil to feed the bowels, until one day my daughter suggested that I try Grape-Nuts fully-cooked cereal food dry, as I could not retain anything moistened. After the third I day I began to steadily mend, and for weeks and months I took them three times a day. "When I began eating Grape-Nuts I weighed 5st. 5106.; now I weigh 7st. 12lbs., and am doing I my housework and eating nearly any aud everything. I tell everyone I hear complain of indigestion to try (irape-Nuts, and many have on the strength of my cure."

The first meeting held on the old Woodside track at Croydon, now abolished, was in 1866; the last in November, 1889. Previously there had been two or three other courses used for what were also termed the Croydon races. Gatwick is Croydon'e successor. Licences under Rule 93 of the National Hunt Rules have, been granted to the following jockeys for 1902;—T. Benson, G. Brown, W. Glover. W. Halscy, H. HiCkin, H. V. Mason, E. A. Xorcott, G. Peacock, H. Randall, G. Saun- derson, P. Sherlock, H. Ward, and F. Young. The veteran jockey William Abdale con- tinues very ill at Richmond. Abdale was associated with Lord George Bentinck and other famous sportsmen, for whom he used to ride many years ago. In latter days he used to ride exercise for James Watson's training establishments. Mr. Harry Payne Whitney, son of Mr. W. C. Whitney, has formally retired from the Turf and sold his interest in Acefull, the American candidate for next year's Derby, to his racing partner, Mr. Herman B. Doryea. It is not yet known whether Acefull will race in Eng- land next year under Mr. Duryea or Mr. W. C. Whitney's colours. The Stewards of the Jockey Club give notice in the "Calendar" that they will require clerks of courses to submit to them, for approval before publication, the names of the handi- cappers their stewards propose to appoint for their meetings. Attention is called to Rule 27, which provides that no handicapper shall handicap at any other meeting held during the same week, except by express permission of the Stewards of the Jockey Club. Official wishing to have licences from the Stewards ot the Jockey Club for the season 1903, under Rule 19 of the Rules of Racing, are requested to apply at once (stating at the same time the special duties they propose to perform) to Meesrs. Weatherby and Sons, 6, Old Burlington-street, London, W. The stewards give notice that no" licence will be granted by them to any official except on the distinct understanding that he does not en- gage in any- betting transaction. At the Gimcrack dinner Lord Derby spoke (says "Truth,") some seasonable words of wisdom as. to the disappointments of breeders. "Who had bred horses that did not, almost without a shiver, hear some foal spoken of as certain to do great things in the future, or be told that some yearling was the best one out that year?" In the autumn of 1900 how many writers were thrown into paroxysms of enthusiasm about the superlative promise of the two animals which were generally des- cribedas the best two yearlings of that season ? These were Orinelie and Cupbearer, and they changed hands, so far as I remember, at a. price amounting to nearly £ 14,000 for the pair. Neither animal has, in fact, won a race. and their prospects of distinction in the future are decidedly forlorn. The fact is that breed- ing racing stock is simply the greatest lottery in the world, and only men who have plenty of money to throw, away should embark on so hazardous a form of speculation.

INTERESTING SPEECH BY SIR H. IRVING. Sir Henry Irving, speaking at Newcastle on Thursday, said that years had taught him that there was only one thing in the wide dominion of human life that was abyssma], and that was the ignorance of the youth who made his first essay on the stage. The young actor must fight, work. and win his way in a new world, bristling with difficulties, dark with unknown pitfalls and ignorance. In the Temple of Fame there was but little room. and the struggle to gain success must be earnest and dire and long, and the steep side of Parnasaus was strewn with corpses.
